WAsHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-There is now
every reason to believe that Secretary

Cabinet. He has not finally determined
Il pom this step, because it depends upon
a contingency which may not arise. A

Manning to accept the presidency

night that II the bank was properly or
ganiZed and the terms offered him were
satisfactory that he would accept the
presidency Of II, but he regards the
whole matter as In chaos, and would
probably not make the change until the
end of the present year, certainly not

as explaining his position, and that the
President replied that ne would not let
